Important Questions on The Earth's Magnetism
What is the angle of dip at magnetic poles of earth ?

Assertion: The geographic north-pole does not coincide with the magnetic north pole.
Reason: The axis of the hypothetical dipole inside the earth is tilted by approximately with respect to the axis of rotation of the earth.

The south pole of earth's magnet is in the

The magnetic field lines go inside the earth near the:

The axis of rotation of earth passes through:

Geographic north pole is near the:

The Earth's magnetic field at a certain place has a horizontal component of and a total strength of . The angle of dip is

At a certain place, the angle of dip is and the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is The earth's overall magnetic field is

At a certain place, the angle of dip is and the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is oersted. The earth's total magnetic field (in oersted) is

The relation between and is ________.

The vertical component of earth's magnetic field is zero at:

A place where the vertical components of Earth's magnetic field is zero has the angle of dip equal to

Let the magnetic field on earth be modelled by that of a point magnetic dipole at the centre of earth. The angle of dip at a point on the geographical equator is

At a given place on the Earth, the angle between the Magnetic meridian and the Geographic meridian is called.....

The lines of force due to earth's horizontal magnetic field are

At a place the true value of angle of dip is . If dip circle is rotated by from magnetic meridian, the angle of dip is found to be . Then the value of is

The tangent galvanometers having coils of the same radius are connected in series. A current flowing in them produces deflections of and respectively. The ratio of the number of turns in the coil is:

Assertion: A freely suspended magnet points along the north-south direction.
Reason: Since the earth behaves as a magnet.

Assertion: A freely suspended magnet points along north-south direction.
Reason: Since earth behaves as magnet.

The Earth's magnetic field at a certain place has a horizontal component of and a total strength of . The angle of dip is
